Uncovering Aspects of Western and Indian Music in Vanraj Bhatia's Night Music for Solo Flute, and Selected Other WorksWoolf, Rachel, 1988- 08 1900 (has links)
Born in 1927 in Bombay, Vanraj Bhatia is an Indian composer of music for concerts, film, television, opera, meditation, and commercial jingles. His musical style is unique, stemming from his training in both Western and North Indian classical, or Hindustani, music. Little is known about Vanraj Bhatia in the Western classical world, and in India he is recognized primarily as a composer of film music. This dissertation aims to bring awareness of Vanraj Bhatia's significance as a Western classical composer, focusing on uncovering the cross-cultural influences of his only solo flute piece, Night Music, composed in 1964. This research offers Western flutists a better understanding of Indian music, specifically Hindustani and Indian folk music traditions, often not fully understood since Indian music is an aural tradition, rarely transcribed and notated, and relies on a guru/shishya (teacher/student) relationship. Such an understanding will elucidate the compositional choices made in Night Music, allowing flutists to be more informed in their performance of it. Although the focus of this study is on Night Music, other repertoire from Bhatia's concert music and film music will also be examined to illuminate Bhatia's compositional style, which includes elements of Hindustani music, Indian folk music, and Western musical traditions. An exploration of some of Bhatia's other compositions written for Western musicians will give readers beyond the realm of flutists a better understanding of his distinctive, cross-cultural style and influences, and will introduce larger audiences to this exceptional and little-known composer.

Ukuhlalutywa ngesiXhosa kwamabali esiXhosa angeenkokheli zoluntu, afumaneka kwimagazini iBona kusetyenziswa uhlobo oluyijenriKenene, Antoinette Nomvuselelo 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / This study concerns the genre analysis of five texts (articles) in isiXhosa from Bona Magazine using genre theoretic approach. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study concerns the genre analysis of five texts (articles) in isiXhosa from Bona
Magazine using genre theoretic approach. They all analyse genre of social community
leaders using the theory of Grabe & Kaplan. (1996) All five articles re attached as
appendices at the end of this assignment.
The chapters 2 and 3 present an overview of different views expressed by different
linguistics and researchers in relation to the genre theoretic approach and how these
theories are applied in analyses. The views of Bhatia (1993) are also used in that he
promotes the use of language in text when people communicate either in written or verbal
format. Bhatia emphasizes the use of text linguistic properties and insights in the culture of
participants to ensure that communication purpose is reached. Among other things, he
invokes text structure, lexical choices, cohesion and coherence of text, content and theme
are analyzed. This study investigates the social cognitive and linguistic choices and how
they influence writing and reading. The purpose and meaning of the text is depicted as
very important in the analysis of written text. (Bhatia; 1993)
The first part of chapter 4 deals with the theory of Grabe & Kaplan (1996), which
emphasizes the use of ethnography of writing. The ethnography of writing according to
Grabe & Kaplan (1996) entails the answers to the following basic questions: Who is
writing? To whom? For what purpose? Why? When? And how? The answers to these
questions are to be formed in the analysis of the articles on Grabe & Kaplan's views on the
relationship between ethnography of writing and lexicon of writing skills are also analyzed.
The study also includes Halliday's (1984) views. Educating children in their home
language environment makes them to learn better as they write in their own language and
about the things they know. Lastly there is a short discussion about the relationship
between the new genre approach and Outcomes-Based Education. (OBE) The similarities
they share in connection with aims, goals and purposes as language teaching approached
are touched upon. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie hou verband met die genre analise van vyf tekste (artikels) in Xhosa uit die
Bona tydskrif. Die analises handel oor die genre van sosiale gemeenskapsleiers binne die
raamwerk van Grabe en Kaplan (1996). AI vyf die artikels is in In Appendix aangeheg aan
die einde van hierdie werkstuk.
Hoofstukke 2 en 3 bied In oorsig aan van verskillende sieninge van linguiste t.o.v. die
genre-teoretiese benadering en die aanwending van die teoretiese uitgangspunte in
analises van tekste. Die sieninge van Bhatia (1993) word ook ingespan m.b.t. die
kommunikasie tussen mense. Bhatia wend tekslinguistiese eienskappe aan asook sosiale
en kulturele insigte in die ondersoek van hoe kommunikatiewe doelstelling bereik word. Hy
gebruik o.a. tekslinguistiese kenmerke, leksikale keuses, kohesie en koherensie, en
tematiese realiserings in die teks. Die doelstelling van die teks is uiters belangrik volgens
die betekenis wat Bhatia in die teks ondersoek.
Die eerste gedeelte van hoofstuk 4 handel oor Grabe en Kaplan (1996) se model van
tekskonstruksie en die etnografie van skryf. Die onderrig van leerders is beter as hulle in
hulle huistaal skryf en leer. Die studie beskou die onderliggende uitgangspunte van
Kurrikulum 2005 m.b.t. die genre benadering tot die onderrig van Xhosa / ISICATSHULWA
Olu fundo luphanda ngohlalutyo ngohlobo Iwejenri kumabali esiXhosa afumaneka
kwimagazini iBona kusetyenziswa ulwimi IwesiXhosa. La ngamabali amahlanu
angeenkokheli zoluntu, nazakuhlalutywa ngokweembono zikaGrabe noKaplan (1996).
Kuqalwe ngokushwankathela iinkcazo zohlobo Iwejenri, neembono zabaphononongi
neengcali ezahlukeneyo malunga nolu hlobo lutsha lokuhlalutya. Kucaciswa imbono
kaBhatia (1993) mlunga nokuphononongwa kwendlela yokusetyenziswa kolwimi xa
kunxityelelwana, kwiitekisi ezithethwayo nezibhaliweyo. Oku kucaciswa ngokupheleleyo
xa kuhlalutywa la mabali mahlanu angenkokheli zolunu. Phakathi kwezinto ezijongwayo
xa kuhlalutywa nobhalo Iwamabali; lulwakhiwo Iweetekisi, ngumxholo, lukhetho
Iwamagama, lunamathelwano nonxulumano. Kwakhona indlela umbhali ayiphuhlisa
ngayo intsingiselo yetekisi yakhe ukuze injongo yakhe izaliseke.
Indlela ezisetyenziswa ngayo iimpawu eziziparametha eziyimbono ka Grabe noKaplan
(1996) xa kuhlalutywa la mabali angenkokheli zoluntu. Xa kuthethwa ngezi mpawu,
kuxelwa ukuphendulwa kwemibuzo yobhalo ethi; ngubani umbhali? Ubhala ntoni?
Ubhalela bani? Yintoni injongo yakhe? Kutheni ebhala nje? Ezi mpawu azaneli knceda
umbhali ukuba abhale kakuhle koko zinceda nomfundi ukuba ahlalutye kakhuhle
okubhaliweyo.
Kwakhona imbono kaHaliday ethi xa kusetyenziswa ulwimi makusetyenziswe izinto
nemizekelo engentlalo nenkcubeko yabantu. Lilonke yena ugxininisa ukufakwa
kwenkcubeko kwimfundo yabantwana. Uyixhasa lembono yakhe ngokuthi abafundi
baqonda lula xa befunda ngolwimi Iwabo nange nkcubeko yabo nangezinto
ezibangqongileyo. Le mbono iyahambelana nokufundisa ngohlobo Iwejenri yona
imkhululayo umntwana ukuba azifundele ngokwengqondo angadityaniswa nomnye.
Kwakhona kolu fundo kuthelekiswe uhlobo Iwejenri nohlobo olusetyenziswayo kwizikolo
zethu olujonge iziphumo uhlobo Iwe O. B. E. Kujongwa nendlela ezinxulumene ngayo,
ngenxa yokufana kweenjongo zazo kwaneziphumo kubantwana abafundiswayo
kusetyenziswa zona.
